Is ICO/IEO/ITO the best way to invest in cryptocurrency now?

ICO, IEO, ITO, IDO, they are same but adapts with a new name for a new trend. The basic instinct of those crowdfunding is similar, only different on name and the way the market calls it.

Coinlist is a hot trend now but any of those trend (ICO, IEO, ITO, IDO) is not an automatic winning game for every one. There are losers and winners and the number of losers are bigger than numbers of winners.

News write about winners because they are paid to shill a new trend. Losers are hidden and their lost story will only be mentioned when a trend is over.

got a chance to look over Sheild Dao, it looks like a promosing project because it has real product and related to Defi &TVL.
I wont sell my BTC to invest in Sheild protocl but it's worthy to spend few thound bucks, it has been invested by Hashkey.
any opinion?

It is if the project has good potential and the platform is something that will have an impact on the community, then it's good to buy in their ICO stage, ICO is not safe anymore because it's not regulated and the developer can run away with investor's fund, it's been proven so many times in the past and investors do not trust in this kind of crowdfunding they prefer IEO or ITO but never ICO, so do your diligence if you are going to invest in ICO.

[Reid]

Initially, you'd want Bitcoin and Ethereum to be kept.
I won't move that just yet if I were you or even sell it for another coin. But, if you are in profit then you could do so if you cannot wait for a pump to happen again.
Although, if you are still making money and don't need to force yourself to sell those Bitcoins, I would recommend that.
Think of it as a brand new investment.
ICO, IEO, Defi, or even NFT's. They are all the same. High risk is included with whatever project you pick.
You can't justify that ICO is the most profitable since you only used one example out of millions of project that was created. This is a bit of old advice, DYOR.

...Is ICO/IEO/ITO the best way to invest in cryptocurrency now?...

Investing in projects at an early stage of selling coins will remain profitable for a long time. But all platforms on which launchpad is held, with the exception of coinlist, require mandatory retention of coins worth more than 5 thousand dollars. And even holding these coins is not a guarantee that you will get an allocation in the project.

I think their is no definite answer to this, it should be based on how you wanted to do, long term or short term. Those ICO in the past produce good returns because we are in the bull run that time, so obviously, the price goes up and many profited easy short term. And after the bull run is finished, those projects tanks, the price goes to even less than a dollar, so if you hold that long then you are going to be disappointed.

So there's no one size fits all in investment.

There are a lot of ways to invest in cryptocurrency. ICO is just one of them. But it's the riskiest day. Recently, Coinlist emerged to be a profitable ICO platform. CSPR is just an example. FIL and ICP (both held ICO on Coinlist) are even multiple times higher. In any method of investing, risk management is very important. If you can accept the risk, ICO might be an option. High risk but juicy return.

[TanakabZX]

ICO is one of the ways to invest earlier in a crypto project and there is one reason why I like ICo, that's because of its freedom of buying the tokens, no KYC forced, though not all of them but majority and anyone can buy the coins or tokens unlike IDO and IEO that depends on you buying some other coins to hold to be able to qualify for the new tokens which is rubbish

[Fesatmas]

ICO, IEO, ITO, IDO, they are same but adapts with a new name for a new trend. The basic instinct of those crowdfunding is similar, only different on name and the way the market calls it.

that's right, it's just a designation, so basically it still has the same function. for investors there will be no problem with ICO, IEO, IDO, ITO and so on. they are more focused on the research project that will be the launch target. so they can earn big profits. simple aja, without the need to question the name presale.

[dndfinance]

In my opinion, that is way too risky. High risk, low reward. Not worth it. As a beginner better to stick to Bitcoin. Not a financial advice.

[X-ray]

I got my casper dude and i have participated in option 1. I have been making my own 1k USD to the almost 20k USD with the current price. 

They were using the same mechanism but the only that make them look like different just from their name. They were having the same rules for their investors.

Shield can be a big bet for anyone but it looks like it will be quite difficult to get into it.

[elda34b]

This only happens due to hype. I'd rather buy after the listing happens since most of the time you'll see a big dump in the first hours/day. That will be the test required to see whether the project is really working to achieve their goal, or just use the platform to hype and get the money before they ran away.

[Farma]

not really, I think whether an ICO is good or not depends on the project. however, think again before selling the assets you own. If a project you really feel will grow, then take that decision. however, the coin you're referring to, went up so fast because the project development really attracted investors. that's what made the price go up so high.

[noorammak]

The best way to invest is to set up an investment fund, choose the best projects and invest in the Series A, B seed round... At least the risk is still lower than investing in an ICO. Many projects hold ICOs and then the value of the token plummets.
Investing in projects that are under development during the bear season will promise better returns than ICOs. Investing in a jerky fashion, FOMO will be difficult, I have tried but still can't buy any projects to unlock coins and tokens in 40 days.

[goaldigger]

One thing is for sure, if its started from Coinlist, you can expect for a project to be good so if you want to get into a new project as early as possible, better to have account on coinlist and participate on their sale options. ICO is not the only way to invest on cryptocurrency, there's a lot of ways now and honestly, if you're going to invest on the early stage you must know the risk of it and always do your research before investing so you can know if its a good project or not.

[Sterbens]

depending on how the project can attract more big investors in it. So far, the ICO has proven to all investors and almost of them don't feel disappointed if the program held reaches the target or even exceeds the target. the most important thing is to know what to invest in the project that will contribute greatly to the market.

Should I sell BTC to invest it?

No.

You don't sell your bitcoin to invest into an ICO. If you want to invest into an ICO, use a part of your savings (not in btc) so that you keep both of them. Because if you really think that it's a good project.

You don't have to sacrifice your bitcoin for it. That's my opinion and that's what I'm going to do. I'll keep my bitcoin and will use cash to invest on any project/ICO. But isn't it that ICOs are almost forgotten these days?

It is the trend right now, and while this is the case getting anywhere near these projects is quite exclusive. However, if you can get into any one of these projects, then that's great since you'll probably have a high chance to make profit on your money. So yeah, ICOs, IEOs, IDOs are hot but super exclusive too.

[Hypnosis00]

Don't sacrifice your BTC just for this, it was not a good idea.
If you really wanted to take some risk on this project, please have a separate capital for this just to find out if you were able to gain on not. But for the current situation and since the prices of the altcoins are high, you can really make a good return.

I'm not going to say that ICO, IEO, or even Defi are the best way to invest in cryptocurrency but it also depends on the potentiality of the project and we know that many of these projects are worthless, you might get lucky if you'll find one legit and profiting.
